Little Things


Too often we don't realize
What we have until it's gone;
Too often we wait too long to say,
"I'm sorry" and "I was wrong."

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
We hold dearest in our hearts,
And we allow such foolish things
To tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let
Trivial things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
To see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know
How much they mean to you;
Take the time to say the words
Before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate
Everything you've got;
Be thankful for the little things
In life that mean a lot.
